When designing a hockey stick we use balance as a key factor to guide our design process in terms of how we want a stick to perform and how we want the hockey stick to feel. To answer the question directly, can a hockey stick be too light? YES, absolutely.

CCM Ribcor Trigger 7 Senior Hockey Stick (2022)
Connor McDavid Stick Spec Check
McDavid's custom curve is a variation on the popular P92 pattern, with a smaller, slightly squared blade face. He has been using the curve since he was a young, and for the most part has stuck with it throughout his pro career (with some brief experimentation here and there).
What stick does Alex Ovechkin use?
The TOVI stick is one of the first sticks that doesn't require tape, and it features a perforated blade for shooters. Ovechkin has mainly used the Trigger over the last few years with CCM, though he's experimented some with the Jetspeed in the past as well.
The difference between the two is in the kick point. The Ribcore 4 Pro is designed for the forward that favors a low kick point with a very quick release, while the Jetspeed FT3 Pro is for the players that want more power with slightly slower release times. The Ribcore Trigger 4 Pro is very popular amongst forwards.

Also, the 80k's holders are attached to the boots via an outsole, unlike the FT2 and Super Tacks, that are attached directly to the boot. NHL players wearing CCM Ribcor skates: Sidney Crosby (PIT), Matt Duchene (NSH), John Tavares (TOR), Carl Hagelin (WSH), Nathan MacKinnon (COL).

The CCM Tacks Team Stick is the definition of powerful bang for your buck! Not only is it one of the lightest options at this price point, but it also has one of the hardest release shots at this level too.
Generally speaking, the lighter the trigger weight, the more accurate a shooter will be. This is because a heavy trigger weight requires more effort from the finger, hand, and forearm, which can disrupt the straight-line aim of the shooter.
The higher the number, the harder it is to pull the trigger which often results in less accurate shots. The mil-spec requirement for the trigger pull on the M4A1 (military version of the civilian AR-15), taken directly from MIL-C-71186 states that the trigger pull weight shall be within the range of 5.5 to 8.5 pounds.
For most shooters, a trigger pull weight between two and three pounds is just about right. Trigger pulls for hunting rifles for use in cold conditions or against dangerous game should be at least three pounds.

What stick does Sidney Crosby use?
Sidney Crosby uses a CCM P29 curve. This Hockey Stick Blade is one of the most popular in the game today and features a deep mid-curve allowing for great stickhandling and puck control. However, it also utilizes a very open face that provide maximum lift on your shots.
A lower flex, being more “whippy” is a better choice for someone that wants to be able to put a lot a load on the stick for quick wrist shots. In this case, the lower flex will help because the quickness of release is more important than how hard the shot is.

Many believe that using black tape is what hides the puck from the goalie, but many goalies actually mentioned that white makes it harder to see when they are shooting the puck because the tape blends into the color of the ice.

Best High Kick Point Stick: Bauer Supreme Ultrasonic
The winner for high kick point goes to the Bauer Supreme Ultrasonic. Honestly, the CCM Super Tacks AS4 Pro is an incredible stick. The main reason Bauer gets the advantage here is simply because it offers a slightly higher kick point than the AS4 Pro.
THE P92 CURVE
This is the most popular blade pattern used today. This pattern helps you cradle the puck and is great for puck handling in traffic. With the P92, you'll excel in wrist- and snap shots and find the open face helps elevate the puck.
The movement was started by none other than Wayne Gretzky who signed an endorsement deal to use an HXP 5100 aluminum shafted stick made by Easton. The late 80's saw initial use of aluminum shafted sticks, but it was Wayne Gretzky who made them popular in the early 90's.

This KOHO Revolution stick was game-used by NHL legend Mario Lemieux in the mid-late 1990s. It was gifted to Howe after a game by Lemieux himself and has been in his possession ever since. Lemieux has given the stick a black tape job on both the blade and top of the stick.

CCM says the Jetspeed line has a "tapered" fit. Comparable to Bauer's Supreme skate, the Jetspeed is a medium-volume skate for players with average toe, forefoot, instep, and heel dimensions.
A longer hockey stick is usually preferred by defensive players! The longer stick allows you to intercept passes, take larger poke checks, and achieve an overall greater reach. On the other hand, using a larger stick can make stickhandling more difficult and often get in the way when trying to dangle or shoot.
